The Place Where Fallout Purists Whine

[RoyWill Rumble]

You won't 'compromise' any missions or anything, you'll just find stuff like the National Archives if you go southbound. Seriously, you're not gonna be going through much from the Mall to Rivet City as far as spoiling things go.

[oldskool]

You can swim across the river and make it to Rivet City that way. A lot of min/maxers do that as soon as they leave the Vault to get the Intelligence bobblehead at level 2. You just head southeast, swim across the river, find a spot to get back on land and you should be fine.

You'd also get radiation poisoning. Lots of it.

[King Ellis]

Drugs can solve that.

Much like all of life's problems.

I'm bummed about my game since I've hit the level cap and I'm not even halfway through the main quest.

Abe Lincoln's rifle is fucking awesome. It's a one-hit kill on most things.

[Crybaby Bunting]

I stupidly decided to buy this on Steam despite already having it on the 360

However, it's almost completely worth it for the ability to punch deathclaws in the face during god mode

Got the UFO crash but cant find the pistol..........

You either have to much monney or should have bought the DLC for it...

Sup, new Fallout?

At a Bethesda press event in London today, our very own Jem Alexander learned of a brand new addition to the Fallout universe. Fallout: New Vegas will be available on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 next year, courtesy of Alpha Protocol developer Obsidian Entertainment.

I have faith in Obsidian to do something good with the Fallout universe. Especially considering the fact that a big chunk of Fallout 2's team work there. Here's hoping for an intricate storyline with plenty of grey choices and great characters. Chris Avellone turns most everything he touches into gaming gold.

Shame their Alien RPG was canceled.

[Gongsun Zan]

I like Obsidian way more than I like Bethesda. KOTOR II was pretty well written character and side quest wise, though they kind of forgot to put a storyline in there. >_>

I've never played NWN2 though. Is it worth getting?

[Farmer Reil]

Eh.

It's worth getting if you find it cheap somewhere, it's a good game and everything. But it's not ground breaking, nothing to rush out and get.

[Reddaye]

I've never played NWN2 though. Is it worth getting?

It's only worth getting for it's first expansion: Mask of the Betrayer, and maybe it's second one: Storm of Zehir (if you like old school type PC RPGs). The actual main campaign of NWN2 is pretty poor as far as story goes IMO. It has it's moments, but overall I wasn't a huge fan.

How do you de-activate mines again?

[oldskool]

Get the reticule on it from close enough range (you don't have to trigger the mine to be close enough) and hit the Take Item button. For 360 it'll say:

A) Disable

and then say

A) Take

once you've hit A the first time.

You'd do well to be crouching too cos you can mess with them from slightly further away cos you're not wasting reaching distance on downwards.

[Downward Spiral]

According to Gamespot the DLC packs will be coming to the PS3 in June. X-Boxers: are they any good, as they seem to have gotten some mixed reviews.

I completed the game last night. Well, at least the main story, still got some side quests to attempt on a save game made a couple of missions before the end. Was a little underwhelmed by the finish though.

The actual end mission, with the big robot thing marching on the Enclave and the water purifier was pretty cool, but the ending itself was understated, but not in a good way in my opinion.

[Mr.Chile]

now they are going to release two new DLC: Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta, hope they are better than operation anchorage and The Pitt
